To address the Kremlin's hybrid warfare, Weber proposes a joint team to paralyze Moscow...
Putin's hybrid warfare continues unabated, and the noise of rogue drones is worrying European governments.
The latest Russian UAVs have been spotted at Norway's Bardufoss airport and the Danish centres of Karup and Bornholm, while what appear to be fragments of unmanned aerial vehicles are being collected in Tulcea, eastern Romania.
Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen is waiting for concrete answers and hopes that the European summits taking place tomorrow and Thursday in Copenhagen will help find viable solutions. This is also because the fear of drones has exploded in Denmark.
Fredriksen has so far called up 3,000 reservists, but is waiting for a response from her partners. “No country can face a hybrid war alone. It is clear that Putin wants to divide us. I will do everything I can to prevent this from happening,” she stressed, thanking France for providing a Fennec military helicopter and a team of 35 people who will manage the anti-drone aspects of the summit work, Sweden for the radar, and NATO for the air cover.
The EU Commission, for its part, is working to build the “European drone wall,” the eastern flank surveillance, the air defense shield, and the space defense shield. The timeline is not particularly encouraging: work will start in the spring of 2026 and be completed by 2030.
However, not all NATO allies agree on how to respond to Moscow in the short term. Poland is prepared to use force, others see weapons as a last resort.
The United Kingdom is ready to send additional equipment, but many analysts argue that the deployments promised by London and other capitals could deprive Ukraine of the air defense systems it needs.
Zelensky fears that he will be left vulnerable at the most delicate moment of the conflict and points the finger at Russian oil tankers, accusing them of providing cover for launching drones towards the West.
The leader of Kiev proposes a joint air defense system with Europe. Foreign Minister Sybiha has called for "the time to hit Putin with direct sanctions."
Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson calls for "caution, even though the probability that Moscow is behind this is very high."
But German Foreign Minister Wadephul and European Defense Commissioner Kubilius see nothing other than "Russian provocations to test NATO's resolve."
Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Poland have condemned the recent incursions, calling them "hostile acts and dangerous provocations" that threaten European stability. The three countries reaffirmed the unity of the Weimar Triangle and their determination to defend common security and values against Moscow's war of aggression.
In the exchange of words and warnings, an interesting proposal presented by the leader of the European People's Party, German Manfred Weber, stands out. In an interview given to ZDF, he calls on the EU to create a cyber defense brigade.
"We should respond to Putin with the same destructive maneuvers, that is, with non-military responses, such as paralyzing the subway, instead of hacking airports or railways," he said.
Weber goes on to say, "We need a 'cyber-defense brigade within the European structure to protect ourselves together in the digital world. Very little is being done in this direction, we are still thinking at the national level."
So what does Europe need to protect itself from Russian drones?
To achieve this, military capabilities must be built, Weber said, citing three areas:
Cyber Defense
Drone Defense on the Eastern Border
Own Satellite Surveillance System
Weber also called for the convening of a European Security Council. European structures are needed, "which would impress Putin." /Adapted from Pamphlet by Il Giornale and Zdf/
